I already told her it's best I go next time, she had the upset face said "Ok, I understand and I won't force you to go if you don't want to go. I didn't want to go either I'm just going to see my grandfather because I think his health is not ok!"

Tell her it's too soon for you to have this kind of event...
She should understand and respect your feelings if she is genuinely interested in you as a person.

It shouldn't be THAT big of a deal at this point.

Its too early. Especially for extended family and a long trip. Be careful how you break it to her with your tone and words. Just say its too early.

So what's the issue?

Move on to the next thing. This seems like a complete non-issue.

OK, you described the look on her face... but just out of curiosity, what do you think she was actually feeling about what you said?

And how could you have made her feel better at that moment?

Why would you not want to visit her and her family for Easter? What do you have planned for the holiday instead?

So...?

This doesn't have to be a group/couple activity. She can still go to see her grandfather if she wants to do so.

She and her family are still pushing me and trying to manipulate me to go but I don't want!
I'm getting tired of this, I hate bossy people! She's a little bossy and I told her I don't like this behavior!

There are many reasons, but I will pick 2. Meeting the family is formally acknowledging the relationship BY THE FAMILY! Most importantly, this is a test, on a grand scale. If you think the relationship is not going anywhere, then don't go.

I guess you weren't firm enough. Did you actually use the word "no"?
